In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.
This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.

* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce

* potentially better optimized code as the compiler

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it. If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset. get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists. But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon. In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.
Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().

This patch adds support for the Xilinx XPS IIC Bus Interface.
The driver uses the dynamic mode, supporting to put several
I2C messages in the FIFO to reduce the number of interrupts.
It has the same feature as ocores, it can be passed a list
of devices that will be added when the bus is probed.
